    Vincent Manil La Volute First Impressions

    This is my first bowl since Feb 1 due to freezing weather so I thought it would be an excellent time to try something new since my palate is fresh. I decided to crack open my first ever try of Semois. La Volute - the XXL cut. So I pulled open the super dense package and found...this. This...

    Favorite Ridiculous Movie Scene

    I have to admit mine is utterly nonsensical but I love the Kong vs. T-Rex scene in the Peter Jackson King Kong. It's the highlight of the movie. He made a movie that didn't need to be made, wasn't as good as the original and rather than having him fight a giant snake, he has Kong fight not...

    A Night For Flavorings

    My wife has some of her friends over for a goodbye dinner for one of them so I decided to put the evening to good tobacco use. We've been doing a bit of construction the last 8 months so things are scattered all over. I finally collected all of my flavorings and alcohols and mixed up some...

    What is Your New Year's Pipe Resolution?

    I generally don't make New Years resolutions but this year I have two that are pipe related. Mine are that I will pare down my collection and I will buy no pipe I don't deem "jaunty." Yeah, I don't know what that means either but I'm not picking up any boring shapes (I have many of those) or...

    Your Favorite Tobacco Discovery of 2021

    Hands down, mine was Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. - No. 7 Broken Flake. I normally pick up Dark Birds Eye, Kendal Mix, Kendal Dark, Ennerdale, Rum Flake and any of the Dark Flakes or Plugs as they are my staples. After the last few drops, I always saw this sitting around with stock availability. I...

    Pipes That Stopped You in Your Tracks

    We've all seen them, some pipe that either in the store or more likely on line that even though they a style you were looking but something made you stop and go "Wow" I've had that a few time recently. Some times we've stumbled across pipes that the carver did such a good job of capturing it...

    Access Issue

    Any ideas why I can't access this thread? I know I had some behavioral problems in the past when it comes to pipe cases but the courts ruled I was unwell at the time.

    Ascorti New Dear Verdigris #3

    Third try worked fairly well replicating the cooper patina finish.

    Now It Has Two Stems

    You’ll recall the BC I retopped and put a new stem on but still thought, “What about a church warden? The stem isn’t finished but it’s 90% there. Thoughts?

    Cleaning Up an old Orlik

    I picked this one up on eBay cheap. It's fairly sizable with a 3" bowl and 7 inches long. The stem doesn't fit in the mortise and I can't tell if it had a decorative ring on the tenon. I've been able to clean it and remove the stain. I can see why they rusticated it as I found some dark...

    And Now For Somethin Just Slightly Different

    I had this pipe up for sale but their were no takers so I decided to play with it a little. Original: At first, I just stripped it and finished it with Fiebing's Green and it came out dark green. It looked ok but was nothing special. Then I had the idea to make some of the carving look...

    Quick Ugly Pipe Made...A Little Less Ugly.

    I have this McCraine's panel billiard I bought 30 years ago. Before that, it had sat in the shop for sale for at least 10 years. I bought it with it's partner, a apple shape with the same finish for a song since I liked the apple's appearance. Unfortunately, the apple ended up burning out...

    So it’s time to review another horrible tobacco from my favorite horrible tobacco company, GH&Co. As we recall, Gawith, Hoggarth & Company is a small, multi centuries old tobacco company located in the town of Kendal in the lake district of England. As you daydream about this romanticized...

    George - Topping A Bowl

    So I am down to one handed smoking (three town muscles in my shoulder, just had surgery, yada, yada, yada). I have a lighter that does both soft flame and torch. I wasn't paying attention and roached the top of one of my favorite Upshalls. As you can see in the pic, there is still a remnant...
